St Cyprian Perfume
So it’s Holy Week for Christians everywhere, even totally wacky heretical-even-by-gnostic-standards mystical sorcerer Christians like me. In the build up for this weekends work, I did a larger than normal Cyprian working on Saturday, and finally busted open some very special Cyprian perfume sent to me by Marcus McCoy, the proprietor of House of Orpheus.
I will be honest, I don’t really even know how to review a perfume or an oil, but I will say that it is pretty damn amazing stuff. It smells like power and it reaches through the nose into the brain and tickles your third eye.
I asked Marcus for some comments for this review:
The perfume was formulated on his saint day, and was instructed by him to make a perfume as an offering to him and to share it with others. He instructed to use the Iberian oil formula from conjure man Ali, but to change the bay leaf to his ponto, and to add Palo Santo to the perfume. He would only allow me to use the finest oils of frankincense available making it rather spendy for me to make and sell, but he wanted it to be quality, and not to have any synthetic chemicals in it. Then as silver is his metal, I added the alchemical oil of silver in it made by kymia alchemical arts.
I used the divination technique that Marcus suggests on his page, and received some very vivid images and a few omens that followed later that day to confirm the images.
If you are doing the Cyprian work, Marcus is a dedicated practitioner who is serious about the work and has made some very impressive shit.
